Fresh horseradish

Fresh horseradish is a root with a very intense, spicy, and slightly bitter flavor, commonly used as a condiment in various recipes. Its firm and juicy texture makes it ideal for grating and adding a touch of natural spiciness to sauces, marinades, salads, and side dishes, especially in meat and fish dishes.

This ingredient originates from Europe and Asia, where it has been valued since ancient times for its medicinal and culinary properties. Today, it is cultivated in many regions of the world, adapting to temperate climates.

Fresh horseradish is an excellent source of sulfur compounds, which give it its characteristic strong flavor as well as digestive and antimicrobial properties. It also provides vitamin C and antioxidants that can help strengthen the immune system.

In Hispanic American countries, this ingredient may be known by different names, such as horseradish, white radish (although this term is also used for other varieties), or simply natural wasabi when used in its fresh form to provide that typical spicy flavor, distinguishing it from processed commercial wasabi.

Incorporating fresh horseradish into your recipes is ideal for those looking to enhance flavors with a potent and natural touch, adding freshness and a distinctive spiciness without the need for artificial ingredients.
